Drake is such an easy target in Toronto. The 6ix God was courtside as the Toronto Raptors gave a spirited effort to get out of a 2-0 hole in their series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately for the Raptors, Joel Embiid had more spirit.

Joel Embiid dropped 33 points and 13 rebounds. The biggest of the three was a fadeaway jumper off the inbound pass, all-net, putting the Raptors on the brink of elimination.

As Embiid strolled off the court, he immediately found Drake and screamed at him:

“That’s what you call a fuckin superstar! Get your ass on, I’m coming for the sweep too!”

‘Red Table Talk’ Provides Update on When the Smith Family Will Address Oscars Slap

red table talk

Shortly after the infamous Oscar slap, reports stated Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith would address the viral moment on a forthcoming episode of Red Table Talk. The Facebook Watch show made its return on Wednesday and provided an opening statement on the alleged episode.

“Considering all that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focused on deep healing,” the message reads. “Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls. Until then the table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest.”

The first guest for this season is Janelle Monae. The outspoken LGBTQIA+ superhero and eight-time Grammy nominee explains why she no longer considers herself a woman and what prompted her to come out at the age of 32.

According to Radar Online, Will has declined invites to Good Morning America and The Today Show to discuss the matter. In the fall out of the slap, Will Smith released an apology to Chris Rock on Instagram and received a 10-year ban from the Oscars ceremony.

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally,” Smith wrote. “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”

The moment has not stalled work for Will Smith as he is reportedly “flooded with offers.“

Two of New York’s finest link up for one of the hottest joints in Hip-Hop. Queens native Nicki Minaj pulled up on Brooklyn’s own Fivio Foreign, and they both got it lit for the “We Go Up” video.

Nicki shows off her exclusive exotic car collection in the video before hopping on a private jet headed to Fivio. The two New Yorkers perform in front of a hot pink Lamborghini and lime green Ferrari. The two then link up for a block party with more custom exotic cars.

As excited as the Queen Barbie is with “We Go Up,” she’s not satisfied. Nicki took it to Twitter to urge the Barbs to engage themselves in the “We Go Up” video. If not, she’s stalling her album.

It’s uncertain when Minaj plans on dropping her album. She hasn’t released any detail on that subject just yet. What is certain is that if she doesn’t like the results from the video, she’s not dropping any time soon.

“We Go Up” is the third visual Nicki has dropped this year. Last month, in February, she dropped “Blick Blick” with Coi Leray and “Do We Have a Problem?” with Lil Baby.

As fans wait for the details on the album, enjoy “We Go Up,” directed by  Andre “DreVinci” Jones, below.

Shaquille O’Neal has had time to reflect on his divorce from Shaune O’Neal. The two split in 2011, and the NBA 75 team member revealed that it was his fault.

Shaq was a guest on The Pivot Podcast and claimed responsibility for the end of the marriage. “I’ve never talked about this, and I’m glad you guys asked because I don’t mind talking about this, but I was bad,” Shaq said. “She was awesome. She really was. It was all me.”

Shaq would reveal he “wasn’t protecting her and protecting those vows.” He also stated he was living a double life.

“She did exactly what she was supposed to do and gave me beautiful kids, take care of the house, take care of the corporate stuff,” Shaq said. “It was just all me. Sometimes, when you make a lot of mistakes like that, you can’t really come back from that.”

Three decades ago today, Beastie Boys released their third studio album entitled Check Your Head released on Capitol Records.

This was a return to their punk rock roots after the few releases they had prior to this LP. They were back to playing their own instruments on this particular project, which gave it that organic feel they wanted. This was the album that made sure they would stick around and help them become a household name.

It was also the album that returned them Billboard’s Top 10 album chart, and most importantly it introduced them to a demographic that critics claimed was not listening to their sound anymore. “Check Your Head” only further cemented the Beastie Boys name in Hip Hop history!
